Gallery EXIT presents CHENG Ting Ting’s latest solo exhibition ‘Night Walk’, showcasing the artist’s new works created in the year since her return to Hong Kong after graduating from a master’s degree in Norway in 2021. During her two years of studying abroad in Norway, the artist experienced an environment, climate, and general atmosphere of life and creation entirely different from that in Hong Kong. The immense difference between the two places has caused a considerable impact on and transformation in Cheng’s creation. The relatively slow pace of life and creation in Norway allowed the artist to freely explore different directions and techniques of painting. The exhibition will open on Saturday 17 September, and will run till 22 October 2022.

Cheng’s works always unfold with chaotic brushstrokes and colour blocks, followed by the construction of interactions and interconnections between layers. In her previous works, viewers can identify certain things and narratives, while her new works tend to present a sense of general confusion, like the parts or afterimages of things. The paintings have been washed and painted over, until only some vaguely familiar silhouettes remain. Colours blend together, and underneath, details of the scene are hidden within the complex and chaotic brushstrokes, barely glimpsed by the viewer.
